A Study on Vessel Design Challenge
Solicitation # 693JF726R000016
The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) is seeking proposals for a Vessel Design Challenge under the Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) program. The objective is to fund multiple design teams to develop integrated vessel designs that achieve a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency and a reduction in underwater radiated noise (URN). This is a design-stage challenge focusing on advanced fluid dynamic modeling to demonstrate technical feasibility and economic achievability; it does not require direct measurements. Total available funding is up to 1.25 million dollars, with individual awards typically ranging from 150,000 to 450,000 dollars. The project timeline is 12 to 18 months. Eligible applicants include all domestic entities other than individuals, with a preference for team leads that are U.S. companies, U.S. headquartered, or operating under the U.S. flag. Design teams should ideally follow a design-build approach, incorporating naval architects, marine engineers, shipyards, and technology providers. Deliverables include a preliminary vessel design with technical details on hull form and propulsion, stability and load analyses, and a comprehensive economic breakdown including return on investment (ROI) and technology readiness levels. Proposals are limited to 20 pages and must be submitted in PDF format via email to the designated contract specialists. Evaluation is based on the design integration plan, methodology, team capabilities, project timeline, and budget justification.
